Assumption Convent Primary School

ADMISSION POLICY
 

Admission to Assumption Convent Primary School is subject to the acceptance by the applicants of the following fundamental principles:

 ¨     Assumption Convent Primary School, Pretoria North was established in 1952 by the Missionary Sisters of the Assumption to further the ends of Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Pretoria by providing a fully integrated curriculum which will ensure the development of each Learner’s spiritual, intellectual, social and emotional potential.

 ¨     Our education is firmly based on Gospel values and has a strong Catholic orientation.  While all denominations and religions are welcome in our school, we will strive to help each Learner to grow in his/her relationship with God and to be fully committed to his/her particular religious beliefs.

 ¨     The form of public worship in the school is Catholic in orientation and children will be required to attend church services in the Parish church.

 ¨     The school provides instruction through the medium of English.  In an endeavour to ensure that each child entering the school is able to participate fully in lessons, a basic understanding of English is required.  All children entering the school will therefore be required to do an Academic Readiness Assessment.  The results of this assessment will be discussed with parents and will determine whether the child can be placed in the school.

  ¨     Please note the respective age cohorts for placement in the school for 2026
